November 11th is Veterans Day. We remember.

Veterans Day Memorial at Fork Union Military Academy

Wars are so horrible, but necessary for our defense. On this day in 1918 at 1100 the world stopped for a moment of silence. It was a war to end all wars. We remember.

In our Veteran’s Day ceremony on campus held on 11/11 at 1100 hours, we will hear about those who have gone before us and for those veterans gathered, we’ll honor them in person. We will have a moment of silence at 11:11.

We hope for wars no more, but the reality is that there will always be wars and rumors of war. There will also be a call for those to defend freedom. We remember.

For those who served honorably we thank you. Welcome home. We remember.

In Christ,
Colonel David L. Coggins, USMC (Ret.)
President
Fork Union Military Academy
